In a recent interview with a leading publication, Tom Holland, the young and charismatic British actor, opened up about his struggles with mental health.
The 25-year-old Spider-Man star shared that despite the fame and success that came with his career, he has had to face his own demons. Holland said that he had experienced periods of anxiety and depression and that he had struggled to cope with the pressure that came with his job.
“Being in the public eye is tough. There’s always this pressure to be perfect, and sometimes it’s hard to live up to that,” Holland said in the interview. “There were times when I felt like I was drowning and that nobody understood what I was going through.”
The actor, who has been open about his struggles in the past, said that he had learned to prioritize his mental health and that he was now in a better place.
“I’ve learned that it’s okay not to be okay and that it’s important to reach out for help when you need it,” Holland said. “I’ve also learned to take time for myself, to do things that make me happy, and to surround myself with people who love and support me.”
Holland’s honesty about his struggles has been applauded by fans and mental health advocates alike. Many have taken to social media to share their own experiences and to thank the actor for shining a light on an often-stigmatized issue.
In response to the outpouring of support, Holland took to Instagram to thank his fans and to encourage others who may be struggling to seek help.
“Thank you for all the love and support,” he wrote. “Remember, it’s okay not to be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone.”
